Using RIMIS

• Operations Database Can be used for a Traffic Operations Center Log incidents and create reports (incident, monthly, construction) Notification distribution

• Situational Map The “big picture”: arterial network information, local construction

information, minor special events Fills the gap between locals and DOT

• Video Wall Incident Management: location verification, incident severity,

equipment dispatch, arrival tactics

Takeaways

• The future is expected to have more frequent and larger extreme weather events.

• These are likely to damage transportation infrastructure.

• We need to prepare now, both to protect infrastructure, and to be ready to repair it.

• The first step in preparation is knowing where we are most vulnerable.
